UV14MAPC3MDF

This maple plywood is characterized by sapwood that varies from soft pinkish white to light yellow to light khaki in color. Its surface is smooth, tight, and dense. The heartwood ranges from dark brown to green to black.

Typically known as white maple, its growth rings are light and at times imperceptible. Its susceptibility to insect assault can result in brown streaks called worm track.

The Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) core is made in a production process similar to Particleboard (PBC) except that all of wood particles are small and uniform like sawdust. MDF offers great stability and is the least likely to react when subjected to a measurable change in temperature or humidity. It offers a very smooth, void-free surface for veneer faces.

MDF has greater strength and screw holding properties than particleboard and weighs around 100 lbs per 3/4″ panel. It is used in cabinets, furniture, fixtures and molding and is highly recommended for thin panel applications such as door inserts for cabinets and paneling.
